Hello again! Its weekly update time and I have just realsed version 0.0.4 of Pingers! As always, some new treats to get your teeth into.
This week was all about player customisation and building the foundations for the unlock system within the game. With this there are two major changes.
Players can now choose a hat, and a face for their paddle in the player select screen! New hats and faces can be unlocked by playing the game and scoring new points. This has added a number of new concepts which I will cover below.
Player customisation
On the player picker screen, players can now change three elements. Their paddle colour, face and hat. You can see this in action below:
If an item is not yet unlocked, it will show a padlock on top of the item, unlocking these is described below.
Unlocking new items
When a player unlocks a new item, once they have scored enough points to get that item, they will see the following:
If you note, that once they get to the game over screen, they will also see how many points away from the next item they are.
Other notes
- Fixed macos steam integration. This was causing issues for a number of players
- Fixed issues with screen effects rendering over paddles
Whats coming up?
- Steam Leaderboards
- Steam Achievements
- New items and attacks
- Game sounds and more music
